Hyundai Staria Load is a Practical Take on A Futuristic Van

This is an automatic-only cargo van that can be used in Australia.

Hyundai revealed one of its most unique vehicles in March. Staria van was unveiled as a futuristic multipurpose vehicle that features spaceship design, cool interior features and can hold up to 11 people. A far less imposing version of the minivan has been launched as a cargo bus. It is currently available for order in Australia.

Staria Load, also known as the Staria Load, replaces the iLoad from the Land Down Under. It can now be ordered in a two or five-seat van configuration with either a standard hatchback (or twin rear doors at its back). The latter option will be available in the fourth quarter. There are two exterior colors available: Shimmering Silver or Creamy White.

No matter what configuration you choose, the 2.2-liter diesel engine is standard with an eight-speed auto. The four-cylinder compression ignition unit delivers 174 horsepower (130 Kilowatts) as well as 317 pound-feet (337 Newton-meters), to the front wheels. It is slightly more powerful than its predecessor.

The cargo space is probably the most important aspect of a cargo van. Hyundai claims that the cargo space can hold three Euro pallets, which is a significant improvement on the two pallets on the iLoad. This is a significant increase from the previous 156,3 cuft (4 426 liters) of Staria Load cargo space.

Hyundai’s latest LCV addition is equipped with seven airbags, an electric parking brake, keyless access with remote window opening and closing, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless charging pad. Prices start at $45,740 AUD in the Staria Load Van, and $48,240 in the Staria Load Crew Van.
